Desire
Sunday, July 24th, 2011Desire is an impulse sent from our truest self to ask that we express more of who we truly are. When we desire, our inner resources are mobilized to go after something we want to be or to have. Desires launch from us like rockets signaling Infinite Intelligence that we want something. The Universe responds in kind.
Burning Desire helps us keep our momentum forward to our dream. Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich just after the Great Depression. His recipe for success includes as a first step, DESIRE.

[If] there were none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach for anything better.
–Florence Nightingale
Divine Discontent is about to get us moving again. This is how the spiritual world inevitably gets our attention. Heaven knows it tries with all the fun prompts: imagination, intuition, coincidences, synchronicity, daydreams, reveries, and delightful hunches. But after we ignore them for years, just as little grains of sand, or “sleep.” are left in the corners of our eyes at night, little grains of grit are deposited in the cavities of our souls, where they will begin to irritate the lining of our lives, much the way one grain of sand does to the oyster before it produces a pearl.
–Sarah Ban Breathnach
Discontent and disorder [are] signs of energy and hope, not despair.
–Dame Cicely Veronica Wedgewood
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
–George Eliot
It’s never too late—in fiction or in life—to revise.
–Nancy Thayer
The beginning of every great success is desire.
Napoleon Hill
When you create desire, you also create
The ability to complete that desire.
Dr. Robert Schuller
Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things.
–Denis Diderot
Hope is desire and expectation rolled into one.
–Ambrose Bierce
I had learned, from years of experience with men, that when a man really DESIRES a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win.
–Napoleon Hill
Every person who winds in an undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to win.
–Napoleon Hill
Only those who become “money conscious” ever accumulate great riches. “Money consciousness” means that the mind has become so thoroughly saturated with the DESIRE for money, that one can see one’s self already in possession of it.
–Napoleon Hill
One must realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes, first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, DESIRING, and PLANNING before they acquired money.
–Napoleon Hill
Awake, arise, and asset yourself, you dreamers of the world. Your star is now in the ascendency. The world depression brought the opportunity you have been waiting for. It taught people humility, tolerance, and open-mindedness.
The world is filled with an abundance of OPPORTUNITY which the dreamers of the past never knew.
A BURNING DESIRE TO BE AND TO DO is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness or lack of ambition.
–Napoleon Hill
